The second one of the TED-Ed lessons I wrote about quantum physics has now been published: What Is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle<\/a>. This is, again, very similar to stuff I’ve written before, specifically this old blog post<\/a> and the relevant chapter of How to Teach [Quantum] Physics to Your Dog<\/cite><\/a>.<\/p>\n

As usual, I tried but probably failed to do justice to other interpretations in the “Dig Deeper” references<\/a> I sent; outraged Bohmians should feel free to comment either here or there with better explanations.<\/p>\n

Again, it’s really fun to see the images the animators found to put to my words. I love the mustache-hat-guy in this one.<\/p>\n

In other notes, over 18,000 people have watched yesterday’s video lesson on particles and waves<\/a>. As I said on Twitter, that’s more views than there have been students enrolled at Union during the 14 years I’ve been teaching here. (We bring in something on the short side of 600 new students every year, and there were three classes here when I arrived, so I’ve been a faculty member through at least part of the careers of around 10,000 Union students.)
